Chapter 388: Demon's Gratitude (11)

Shi Jiaojiao raised her hand, about to knock on the door.

The door to the study creaked open from inside.

"Cousin..." Shi Jiaojiao pouted, calling out in a voice full of grievance.

Su Li was the only one who believed her, and he was also her cousin with whom she had a close relationship.

The fear and grievances she had felt these days could no longer be suppressed and burst forth.

Her eyes instantly moistened, and her voice choked up.

Fortunately, Shi Jiaojiao's emotional collapse was brief, as the careful upbringing by her family prevented her from crying loudly in public.

It seemed as if this loss of composure was just an illusion to Su Li.

Su Li smiled gently and patted the back of Shi Jiaojiao's hand, "Don't be afraid, I have a way."

Although Shi Jiaojiao was somewhat skeptical of the methods her book-learned cousin proposed, his words still gave her strength.

She soon cheered up, waving her hand, "There's no need for cousin to worry about this."
